I'm not gonna lie, I really like to make food in big batches so I can avoid cooking all week ;)

This one is delicious, hearty, and packed with protein & vegetables. Cook it in a crock-pot if you want even less work to do!

Makes 8-10 Servings

Ingredients:

  • 3 TBSP Olive Oil
  • 2-3 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 Onion, Diced

  • 2 c. cooked chicken, cubed
  • 12 oz. cooked shrimp

  1. Heat oil in a large soup pot, and sauté garlic, onion, celery and bell peppers until slightly seared/brown.
  2. Add Tomatoes, paste, water, broth, thyme, red pepper flakes, bay leaf, S&P, hot sauce and rice. Stir and bring to a boil.
